title: A new dopaminergic terminal plexus in the ventral horn of the rat spinal cord. Immunohistochemical studies at the light and electron microscopic levels.
abstract: It has been thought that the ventral motor column in the rat spinal cord is virtually free of dopaminergic fibers. However, a new dopaminergic terminal plexus was visualized at all spinal levels in the ventral horn using electron as well as light microscopic immunohistochemistry.
